Consumers could soon be reunited with thousands of lost or unclaimed money sitting in funeral funds, with the launch of eziFunerals tracing service.

When a close loved one passes away, amongst all the feelings of loss and sadness, there is often a great deal of organising to be done, such as funeral plans someone might have had. 

Unfortunately there is no central database of all prepaid funeral plans. However, this service allows us to ask registered funeral fund managers whether they have a prepaid funeral plan in place for your relative or loved one on your behalf..

Peter Erceg, Owner and Founder of eziFunerals said: “This is an important next step in our mission to help families find lost and missing funeral plans and return it to consumers where it belongs.

“Many of us will face the daunting task of managing the estate of a loved one, often at a time when we want to grieve, but the practical aspects need attention. When someone dies the people left behind face the difficult task of trying to track down all the pensions, bank accounts, savings and funeral plans someone might have had. 

By allowing access to third parties, we hope to make the task of finding lost and missing funeral plans on behalf of others a much simpler, quicker and less complex task, and importantly, at minimal cost.”

Most people won’t have a clue how to go about it, so eziFunerals is a great place to start.”

If a loved one passes away and you think they might have purchased a prepaid funeral plan, but you can’t find any of the information, we may be able to help.
